sjbooher: And one more time… say it with me, now… SCREAMING CHICKENS!!!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A+.
This is two consecutive years of Denny’s greatness. Nanerpus! Can we get a Screaming Chickens/Nanerpus collabo up in here?
jtherkal: I think I can make that happen. Give me a few days. The Nanerpus has lasting power, as that song is STILL my phone ringtone.
Ahhhhhhh! you’re eating my unborn children! B+.
sjbooher: Screaming chickens! Yes!!!! Screaming chickens in space so you can’t hear the scream! Yes!!! Chicken president! Chicken secret service! I can’t get enough. A+
jtherkal: Maybe Denny’s should have used a Tim Tebow chicken and a Tim Tebow’s mom chicken to do an ad about preventing the murder of unborn chickens. A.
jtherkal: Did I notice it? Yes. Was it funny? Pretty funny. Did I remember what it was about? Yes. Do I want to think about eating unborn chicken babies for breakfast? Not really. That’s the only flaw I can find here, especially when I think of the follow-up ads they did. A-.
sjbooher: Complete agreement. I love those screaming chickens! Denny’s even took a subtle jab at themselves, after last year some of their locations ran out of ingredients during this giveaway. A+.
sjbooher: Love. No, it’s not time for a serious breakfast! It’s time for NANERPUS!!!! So good. It’s Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa-nerpus! Best of the night. A+.
jtherkal: Great is right. At first I thought they messed up and used the wrong voice for Nanerpus–that it should sound more like a cartoon. But since this is so short, I’ve watched it about 60 times and now I love it. Banana, nana, nanar, nanerpus. A.
And if you can’t get enough Nanerpus, check this out:
sjbooher: Booorrrrrrrr-ing. Boring and not funny. Mob themes are so overused at this point that it is extremely difficult to come up with something with originality. On top of that, this spot pales in comparison to the other Denny’s one, which was one of the best ads of the night. Nanerpus! The lone redeeming quality is the announcement of the free Grand Slam, which is an amazing promotion. D.
jtherkal: Boring? Nah. I can’t argue with mob themes being played out, but when that waitress draws the whipped cream face on the pancakes–it’s comedy! I love it! (begin Brian Fellows voice) That face is silly. (/Brian Fellows voice) Unfortunately, this should have been an ad for whipped cream, how it can make every situation fun or whatever. Instead, they roundabout you with some Denny’s stuff about having a serious breakfast. I don’t really think of Denny’s as serious anything. Not with Moons Over My Hammy. B-.
sjbooher: Try the Denny’s just off the 5 in the hidden California oil country. DEFINITELY serious breakfast.
